What is the DNA of Survival?

The DNA of survival is a piece of DNA in your body that allows you to adapt to emergency situations or unusual habitats. This is my own opinion of the term "DNA of survival"; I think that this relates to the book "Lord of the Flies" because all of the boys that were stranded on the Island must of had the "DNA of survival".

Why did Shakespeare’s plays appeal to “groundlings, royals, and everyone in between? What elements assisted him in doing that?

Shakespeare's plays appeal to these type of people because all of his plays relate to their time and setting. Shakespeare's plays shows the relationship of the royalty times life and culture. Some elements that might assisted Shakespeare in making these plays could be love, emotion, dictatorship, death, sacrifice, and many more. However, with Shakespear I believe that his main elements are sacrifice, love, emotion, and death. For example; Romeo and Juliet have all of these elements in their tale and many other plays. Most of his ideas come from royalty or mideval times but are put together in one setting and act, in which the outcome is a novel or award winning event.

How can forward thinking help me make better decisions?

Making good decisions are the key to being successful in school, your job, college, and life period. In-order to make good decisions you must think before you which is thinking forward. Forward thinking helps you make your mind up, and puts you in the mind set of what you want to do instead of thinking at the moment and making the wrong decision. For example; In debate I use to run around and look for a case to run at the last minute, then think about different strategies during the debate. However, when I started to figure out my case and think of all my strategies before hand I noticed I made more progress in my debates. Thinking forward always help you finalize your decision in any situaation or scenario, it provides you with a conclusion and understanding of what your final decision is going to be. Thinking forward also helps you save the time that you would spend on trying to figure out evrything that needs to be focused on, and if you have time left over then you have another advantage based on your situation or scenario.

When is loyalty to myself more important than loyalty to a friend?

Loyalty is more important to yourself other than your friends because in-order to have loyalty for someone else you must stay commited to be loyal for yourself first. I think that most people try to take more care in somebody else to much rather than caring for themselves which can be a problem because if your to busy focused on somebody else you can't show the "loyalty" and care you need for you yourself as an individual. However, the vibe I am not trying to release is that people just shouldnt be loyal to anybody, what I'm trying to say is that you should want to treat yourself first before you choose to treat somebody else wioth an enourmous amount of loyalty. Also when you show loyalty to yourself then it shows that you can be loyal to anybody. In my mind you must be able to be commited to yourself to show commitment towards another person, so with all of this said I believe these are the following reasons why you must be loyal to yourself before you are loyal to another person.

How do I demonstrate that I am open-minded enough to learn from my experiences?

I think I demonstrate that I learn from my experience by dis-continuing every mistake that I have made. I fell that every mistake that I have made in life hasn't been made anymore, however I do think that I will make more mistakes in life as I go along but it doesn't mean I won't learn from them. For example, just yesterday I was late to class and the day before that, and my consequences were me losing credit and not being able to get into class. My lesson learned from that is that I need to make it to class on time and then I will be able to learn. Most students will still continue to be late because they have no care for school, but I do care about my education and the mistakes I make; which shows that I am open-minded enough to learn from my mistakes!

ACT Reading Test

I think that the reading test may be the easiest thing about the ACT. As I stated in my previous reflection I tend to lose focus when I take the test. Focus is the only issue I see that I have when taking the ACT. After taking so many practice test I found out that the material is really easy, but put in a difficult way. I also need to move quicker when I'm taking my test. I noticed I take all day answering question when the answer is right in my face. So basically I need to learn how to speed up the process when I'm taking the ACT and stay focused.
